Both PET and PP can be reused and recycled, which reduces waste and gives the product several lives through use and reuse. IKEA takes product safety very seriously and all products are tested and comply with the strictest possible laws and safety standards on all IKEA markets. This includes items such as plates, cups and plastic straws offered in our restaurants, bistros, and cafes. DOESN'T FIT BESTA UNITS Verified Reviewer Was really disappointed to find that these are not a generic for across all the IKEA furniture. It is a main component in a large amount of our products and has a wide variety of applications from surface materials such as paint and foil, to screws and shelf pegs.

You can also use them to replace worn similar parts or to cover some furniture covers in particular furniture. Our ambition is that by 2030, all plastic used in our products will be based on renewable or recycled materials. When your cabinets are up and your shelves are in place, take a moment to fill the unused drill holes with these cover caps.Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description. Polythylene terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP) are durable, hygienic and shatter-resistant plastics. Poorly advertised Verified Reviewer These do not work on Billy or Besta which is a shame as the open holes make the products looks as cheap as they are. Our journey towards only using recycled or renewable plastic will take some time and require new ways of doing things, but we are determined to take responsibility and find new solutions. Turns out they only fit furniture with 5mm holes and the BESTA series have 3mm holes, which I was pretty gutted about.

There is a lot of valid concern regarding how plastic impacts the environment and at IKEA we take this very seriously. Just the job Verified Reviewer Colour match is perfect, and it's actually quite fun to put them all in. A big reason why we like this plastic is that it can be made from renewable raw materials like corn and sugar cane. NOT FOR USE WITH BESTA FURNITURE Verified Reviewer Bought these to cover the unsightly holes in my BESTA TV unit (wrongly assumed that these were a standard size across all IKEA furniture). The little plugs provided with the cabinet doors would be perfect - PLEEEEEASE release them for sale!

As part of our larger circular journey and transition from virgin fossil based material, we are working hard to change all plastic in our home furnishing products to plastic made from recycled and/or renewable raw materials. Recycled plastic allows us to give a second life to non-biodegradable products such as PET bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill. IKEA wants to minimize or totally refrain from the use of chemicals and substances that can be harmful to people and the environment. PET is the most recycled plastic in the world and can be used for many different purposes such as plastic bottles and containers for packaging food and beverages as well as for personal care products, pharmaceuticals and many other consumer products. Currently more than 40% of our plastic products are based on recycled and renewable materials and our aim is to reach 100%.

Make sure you only do them at the very end though, because they are a real pain to get out once they're in. As part of our commitment to people and the planet, all single-use plastic products from the global home furnishing range were phased out in 2020. IKEA uses recycled PET that is post-consumer based, which means it is based on collected and sorted PET bottles. As we add products made from recycled and renewable materials to our offer, we hope to inspire other companies to do the same. Verified Reviewer We bought these to fill the little holes in a billy bookcase (purchased at the same time).
